Adaptive, User-Friendly Controller Interface

The TASR provides high quality, unambiguous data and information to controllers under all combinations of operational conditions. The US FAA-certified ASR display format presents the air situation on high-resolution, full color displays. Information is tailorable to the controller’s needs and preferences.

High Performance

This ASR achieves excellent target detection and false alarm control even in severe environments through a balanced system design. Frequency agility, a low sidelobe antenna, a high stability transmitter, digital Moving Target Detection (MTD) Doppler processing, and advanced automatic target extraction aided by extensive adaptive mapping are key features. These techniques have been perfected over several generations of ATC radars to the current high performance.

Excellent Availability, Reliability and Maintainability

The TASR achieves high availability, high reliability and easy maintainability through a modular, redundant system with fail-soft, fail-safe protection and monitoring built-in. Redundancy with automatic switching ensures continuous operation. Proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software and small numbers of unique modules ensure high reliability. For example, the solid-state transmitter uses only three different modules. On-line maintenance including “hot” module replacement even in the transmitter ensures fast repairs without down-time. Finally, the modular, open architecture supports future enhancements through technology insertion.

Small Size

All radar electronics are packaged in a compact 73-inch cabinet for trailer mounting or room placement. All module and component access is from the front thereby minimizing constraints on location and clearance.
